The Back Door
"Established in 2016 as a politically minded queer venue, The Back Door is tucked down an alleyway behind a car park. A Golden Girls mural adorns its exterior. Inside, the venue is a cosy, crazy den-like space, with wallscovered in zebra stripes and campy unicorn paintings." -'Living joyously is a radical act': why America's gay bars still matter -The Guardian As an openly out bisexual woman, it really goes without saying this is the bride's favorite bar. Hand's down. Lesbian-owned! Hell yes!

At Gather, they've done just that! A woman-owned, artist ran shop that has gathered artists across the county here in this store. The couple is always sure to grab a souvenir from here and it's likely you may have received a post card purchased from this very shop that directed you here!
